The death metal scene welcomes The Enmity Offensive, right out of Minnesota. This Inducing Oblivion EP is their first-ever release and features Derf Plurtleson on guitar, Jake Martin on vox, Jake LeMay on drums, and two former Anal Blast members, aptly Wes Mantooth on bass and former scribe here at Teeth of the Divine, Nick […]
After 4 albums and a few splits/EPs of damn solid Swedish-style death metal, Germany’s Endseeker is calling it quits, and this 5-song EP is their swan song. I missed the last full-length, 2023’s Global Worming, but I enjoyed the last album I heard, 2021’s Mount Carcass. The band was always one of the better Dismember […]
I must admit Black Sites doesn’t do much for me. I followed vocalist and guitarist Mark Sugar because of his previous work with now defunct metalcore/thrash band Trials, but now he is also in the badass death metal outfit, Bear Mace. I thoroughly enjoy two out of the three bands already mentioned, so I’m hopeful […]
Well. My gasts have been flabbered recently by this til now pretty dormant band called Seven Chains. Their debut Seven Chains came out in 2016, followed by Thus She Speaks, the Spiraling Maranatha (2020)… and then crickets. Now here we are in 2026 with Swollen, In Flux, and it’s my first exposure to their weird […]
When I first started mentally writing this review, I had a whole idea about doing a bit about bands shadow dropping albums, and how Amon Amarth just shadow dropped a new album this summer, without telling anyone, and that it was one of their better albums of the last few efforts. Then I thought that […]
In most of my reviews, I typically state something like “if you like [insert band name], then you must definitely check this album/band out“. For the most part, I feel pretty good about those statements. But never have I felt so vehemently bullish or confident about what I am about to say… If you like […]
Napalm Death’s bassist, Shane Embury, has been in a variety of other projects over the years. His self-titled act released a debut album in 2025 called Atonement. Not a fan. Experimental and ambient in nature, the entire album is composed of instrumentals and ambient noises. I think he was experimenting with a lot of different […]
This is not a fun album. Nirriti don’t want you to have fun while you’re listening to their debut album Dhrupad Anutpada (ধপদ অন$ৎপ&দ): Apophatic Ragas Of Non- Origination. I wasn’t even sure if I was going to like it. It’s ugly, it’s abrasive, and that was after the first spin. Many hours later… Song […]
I’ve been listening to and reviewing albums from Scotland’s Scordatura since their 2013 debut, Torment the Weak, and follow-up Mass Failure in 2020. I’ve enjoyed them, but can’t say they really grab me, and frankly, I always thought Man Must Die was the superior Scottish death metal act. Well, with Man Must Die and the […]
I’m in the minority, and by “minority,” I mean the only one on the staff who wanted to review the new Psycroptic album, The Pulse of Annihilation. Each member of the team has their reasons, specifically that they don’t like the band, but it is what it is. I do and have seen them live […]
2026 is shaping up to be one helluva year for brutal slamming death metal releases. Sickbay, outta New York, has released two prior albums and a plethora of EPs. My man Brian, in charge of Ossuary Industries, as well as Dakota, know the free agents in death metal. Seeing that Sickbay had been garnering some […]
Ravaged by the Yeti is the latest album churned out by the riff factory that is Rogga Johansson. By my count, this is his 234th project (I was told there would be no fact-checking), and I simply don’t know how the man does it. He seriously has nearly fifty bands listed as active on Metal […]
Solo French artist Antoine Scholtès has been productive with his Inherits the Void projects with an EP and 3 albums since 2021, and the 4th album, The Silent Abscission, was released earlier this summer. On album number 4, he is again joined by some session players, who are pretty well known; drummer Nico Muller (ex-Otargos, ex- […]
Vomepotro is a brutal death metal band hailing from Brazil. Fall into Decay is their third album and their debut on Brutal Mind, which is from Indonesia. If you know anything about Indonesian death metal, you know they like their death metal fast and over the top. Vomepotro is a band that, if you told […]
Nunslaughter has been spreading their joyful filth since 1987, when their Ritual of Darkness demo was unleashed upon the unsuspecting Death Metal community. Two fistfuls of various split albums were released until they put out their first full-length album, Hell’s Unholy Fire (2000). That’s when I first heard them, and I’ve been a fan ever […]
Inscribed is a new death/thrash metal band hailing from Florida and after a demo, released a nifty little EP In Silent Oblivion, in 2024. A three-piece band with Evie Austin (Cemetery Filth) on bass, Lucas Moore – drums/vox and Mario Alvarez shredding on guitar. If you’re into bands like Sadus, Warbringer, Cynic/latter Death, you will […]
Sweden’s Sarcasm has been knocking about since 1992, starting out as a death metal band, but as they progressed, they changed their sound to a more melodic black metal sound similar to Dissection, Necrophobic, Unanimated, Naglfar, etc. Their last album, Mourninghoul, was back in 2024, which I never got around to hearing despite being familiar with […]
I reviewed Minnesota’s doom death band Red Vinter’s, last several releases, and now they have returned with their second full-length album, Ghost in the Fog. James Achilles on Drums, Mike Bullock -Vocals, Bass, Dylan Jones – Guitars (lead), and they welcome Erik Chrissis into the fold on Guitars. What was established on their EP’s and […]
Even though I have SiriusXM in my truck, I don’t often listen to it, unless I’m with the spousal unit listening to the Lithium channel, or just too lazy to connect my phone and listen to Spotify or all the promos I have on my phone. But occasionally I’ll throw on Liquid Metal just to […]
There have been cover bands since the dawn of music. Now, I realize that Left to Die is a bit more than just a cover band. The band features Death alum Rick Rozz and Terry Butler, as well as Matt Harvey, who also basically has another Death cover band in Gruesome. For years now, they’ve […]
After unveiling a new lineup and a slightly heavier, darker sound on the 2024 Inane Ducum EP, Canada’s epic /symphonic black metal act Atavistia is back with a new full-length album, and their style has changed again, albeit a little more subtly. The band has always been a Wintersun/Ensiferum-worshipping entity, but now, with a distinct […]
It’s safe to say that, for the most part, Swedish Black Metal sounds nothing like Norwegian Black Metal. Marduk sounds nothing like Satyricon, nor does Satyricon sound like Dark Funeral. Flykt are from Sweden, Stockholm to be precise, formed back in 2016 apparently. It’s also safe to say I’ve never heard them before… until now. […]
We have covered Chicago’s death metal veterans a lot here at Teeth of TeethoftheDivine. I mean a lot; 3 interviews, 5 album reviews. I personally haven’t really dug into them since 2011’s Kill on Command, still their best album in my humble opinion, and I have not reviewed them since 2013’s Terror Regime. They released […]
I have reviewed Chicago’s brutal death metal band Embryonic Autopsy’s last two albums. Here we are with album three – Rise of the Mutated. How well does this stack up against their past efforts? Well, read on for that info. Staying intact for the last several years has made the brutal quartet more cohesive; that’s […]
Colorado’s Stormkeep had a nice little glow up on their debut album, Tales of Othertime, back in 2021. The symphonic black metal band with members of Wayfarer and Blood Incantation put the genre and world on notice that the US has indeed entered the chat. But then nothing for 5 years, other than an instrumental […]
